Group 7-day waking average?

Afternoon all. I'm never going to see 5s again. Getting nicely down though when I fell off the wagon. 8.8 this morning, 9.08 yesterday. :(

Getting there Ditto lovely x
 
06:06 BS 6.6. 🙂 Yay! Another storm free night! Putting up my hair still hurt a lot yesterday! More painful grunts as I did even more physio exercises for relief afterwards! And a relativity pain free, just a bit of an ache, night of sleep!🙄

Woke to the delicious smells of rosemary & lamb from the lamb casserole I slow cooked overnight!😛 It’s the start of a new week & I’m feeling a bit more hopeful. I wish you all a good day & I’m off for some brekkie!😉
 
7.4 this morning. I did not sleep well last night.
 
because I forgot tea time meds so took them later with milk and biscuits. 9.1 for me but at least there is a reason. Have a good day all,

I maybe am going into work for a meeting,(no I am not now going in as documentation not sent to me- so rescheduled for Friday) and waiting for OH review,

then walking group this afternoon. Never been before so sort of looking forward to it. Been out for a walk every day since Thursday and have to say, it hasn’t been an arm twisted up the back job.

Good morning everyone🙂

I woke up on 6.6. Strange day yesterday, BG up and down like a bouncing rubber ball seems I might have to change bolus timings. Again.🙄

It’s another nice sunny day here in Lancashirestan. Might be yet another lunch on the balcony. Did that yesterday while watching the football. First up, Man U v Liverpool. 0-0. Then the Carabao Cup Final, Man City v Chelsea. 0-0 at full time. 0-0 after extra time. City won 4-3 on penalties. Nearly six hours of soccer and not a single goal in open play. It was riveting🙂

Anyway, no footy today because it’s horrible Monday. There is a one day cricket international in the Carribean, so that’s fine.

Only three more days of February, then we can properly pretend it’s Spring, and it will be only seven weeks to my next neurolology appointment, where I’ll get the results of the EMG studies last November. Things move glacially in the neurology world, just like me:D

Have a good day, everyone, 🙂

I'm sorry to hear you haven't slept well, insomnia sucks :( Hope you get a better night tonight 🙂
 
Is that the neurology dept at RPH Mike? It was there that I came to the view that neurologists are strange. I think they are in collective denial that the few tests they have (been EMG'd myself) are so crude that they only give a positive result when things are really buggered. Makes them very strange.

Good luck with the appointment, just remember to take War and Peace with you to while away the wait as your appointment time drifts into the distant past and you can still see half a dozen people in front of you in the queue.

Oh, 8.2 on waking but up to 13.2 90 mins after a meagre breakfast of 20g museli and a bergan toast, 25g carb at most.
 
Good morning 4.6 very overcast today but sun trying to break through.🙂 Out early tomorrow for vampire nurse I think they are having a competition to see who can leave the biggest bruise.🙄

Good luck @Flower hope all is well.🙂

Enjoy your group walk @Carolg.🙂

Hope you sleep better tonight @merrymunky.🙂

Have a good day folks.🙂
 
Sorry late on parade. I feel terrible, can’t believe after boasting that I hadn’t had a cold for donkies years I’m now on my second of the year. Hoist by my own petard! Anyways, a 6.7 this morning after a terrible night, Mr Eggy coughing all night, although he feels a lot better today, I couldn’t shift my headache and my nose was dripping like a tap. Still in my PJs, actually don’t know what to do with myself, I feel achy and restless, hot then cold. Ah well at least I don’t have to run the gauntlet of HR departments trying to explain why I can’t go to work as I ONLY have a cold! Silver linings. May your Monday be marvellous. 🙂

The neurologist is based at RPH, but I see him at an outreach clinic at Accrington Victoria Hospital. I should get an answer, because I am really buggered:D

The wait last time was just a few minutes - wouldn’t have gotten through a chapter of the incredibly tedious War and Peace. And the hospital doesn’t involve the half mile walk outside for a vape that you get at Preston. There weren’t a dozen people on the whole list.

Neurologists are strange. They ask you to perform, but never ever laugh like I do. And I’ve yet to meet one who possesses normal social interaction skills. I think, like radiology consultants, they are all on the autistic spectrum.

3.4 miles, up and down, through woods and sea view. Cardiac hill wasn’t as bad as it was said to be. Nice people, all friendly and mostly a bit older.

Hello Peeps...6.8 on waking, dropped my son of and was 8.2 before brekkie, very strange, and then after brekkie, 7.1 would anyone have any idea of these readings, x

Hi Lynnie, when we wake and start moving about our liver will give us a little (often unwelcome!) boost of glucose from its stores, which will raise your levels to a lesser or greater degree (this is called 'Dawn Phenomenon', and can be quite a problem for some people). Eating breakfast usually stops this 'boost' as your body becomes aware that you are no longer 'starving' 🙂
